Thanks to all who contributed...

Have just been sending thanks to those colleagues who contributed ideas to the book - you are mentioned in the acknowledgements in the book...
These are not in order of importance, but just as they happened to feature and come to mind. I like to use the phrase 'standing on the shoulders of giants' on occasions like this...

To see the actual ideas in full, you'll need to order the book of course...

Thanks to Sam Atkins for his idea of raising grades as being like climbing mountains. Also for being a GA NQT Conference attendee earlier in the year...

Thanks to John Harrison, Assistant Head of the King's School, Peterborough for some ideas on memorable geography.

Thanks to Kenny O'Donnell for the Stepping Stones idea that I read about on his blog.

Thanks to Tony Cassidy for the Facebook idea which has gone down so well with everyone who's seen it, young and old...

Thanks to Emma Johns for her poster which I've been using for many years now.

Thanks to Noel Jenkins for some general sprinklings of ideas in various places, and the 'How to Google up your coursework' document that is referred to...

Thanks to Danny O' Callaghan for letting me refer to his work.

Thanks to Helen Nurton for some general revision ideas from materials produced for her school.

Thanks to Jo Blackmore for the production of a range of documents for the exam board NINGS which were adapted and fed into the thinking for some sections, and the examples of the Geography Speed Dating.

Thanks to Val Vannet for the Geodoku activity - more on that in a future blog post

Thanks to Matt Blackmore for the ideas on activities to support memorable geography including Keyword Facebook, DJing and a version of the Speed Dating activity

Thanks to Rob Chambers for letting me use a few sections from his GeoBytesGCSE blog

Thanks to David Riley for support through the TRIPTICO tool (see other blog posts relating to this tool)

Thanks to Steve Kidd for his BIGBURY activity which showed the value of some before and after images.

Thanks to John Davitt for the Learning Event Generator (and Richard Clarke for his Excel version which is included on the CD which comes with the book...) - this features in the 'Pick and Mix' section, which was going to be a little larger, but we were short of space.

Thanks to Russel Tarr for his Class Tools suite, which gets a mention.

Thanks finally to Andy Leeder, for the useful guidance he provided as part of the Suffolk Geography Conference in 2011.

Oh, and don't worry I did write some of the book still ;)
